Six  President’s Day Weekend Volksmarch Walks

Six  President’s Day Weekend Volksmarch Walks

• Orange Beach Trails: Walk starts at the Orange Beach end of the 27.4 miles of hiking and biking trails in Gulf State Park. Walk the forested trail and immerse yourself in nature. There are plenty of benches and a few swings along the way. Bring your water bottles and sunscreen.
• Orange Beach Waterfront Park: En- joy an intercoastal community featuring older homes nestled in with new while walking in a very laid back area. Avoid the hustle and bus- tle of most city walks.
• Gulf Shores State Park Lake Shelby Loop: Follow the Lakeview Trail along Lake Shelby’s Western Shore for stunning views of wetlands. On the Gopher Tortoise Trail you will experience a connection between the beach and the park’s northern amenities.
• Gulf Shores Gulf State Park Campgrounds: This is a paved and elevated trail that follows the northern border of the park’s campground and then goes through the camp- ground. Best place to spot the park’s most ex- otic creature — the Snowbird!
• Flora-Bama: Walk will be a short distance in Florida, with the remaining in Alabama. Part is along HWY 182, a park, boardwalks, a little sand in your toes, and over a bridge for great views.
• Fairhope: Visit the quaint town located on a sloped plateau along the cliffs and shoreline of Mobile Bay. Check out the Storybook Guest House, built by hand.
